Casting off the old Dublin lifestyle like a worn out vest and seeking pastures new. Where better to start than Berlin where the streets are paved with inspiration. Sport, socialising, reading and finding new adventures are my current objectives. And maybe even a job when the winter comes;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Do one thing every day that scares you.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Involved in bikesurfberlin (see weblink on my profile)- sharing bikes for all CSers in Berlin! - fantastic
First CS event attended ever in oct 2011. Loved the atmosphere. Better late than never. Hoping to attend many more in the future. 110% all the way.

Insegna, impara, condividi

Time is of the essence.
Multiverse theory contents that every possibilty happens in an alternate universe.
Aikido has no offensive attacks and is based on the angular momentum of your opponent combining with your combined centre of gravity... physics in action!
